Why don't you just paint your front bowtie?

oh and sorry for posting this is in the performance section i just realized i did that, i meant to put it in the appearance...

i plan on nightshading my taillgihts a couple shades so they are like still red but tinted, not black, tinting my side markers....and also getting about 30% tints all around for the windows...then buying a extra set of headlights and painting the inside...

i've seen blacked out balts on here that look really good. on my car i went with the black accents on my silver paint but a black car with black trim & accents done right looks sick. bring your car to a local body shop and let them take off the bowties and paint them. the front badge is a bolt-on, the back and side badges are stuck on with double sided tape.i paid 50 bucks to get my bowties painted black. i bought the black SS badges from e-bay, they were a a little bigger than the the original ones but i like the way they look. good luck

do a search and u should find a few how to's on how to take them apart. Real easy just take ur time. My front license plate was held on with lag screws, not rivets... it was weird so i can swap it when i want to and i have plugs to put in the holes.

Tape off the silver the go to your local ace hardware and pick up a rattle can of krylon plastic paint. do a couple coats be patient waiting for it to dry.
